Title: brakes again Post by: Sheriff on May 26, 2004, 01:47:15 AM my pride and joy has been sitting for 10 months. all seems fine except the brakes. when i started it up and tried to reverse from the garage, the brakes had bound up but i was able to move it out. went for a drive for a couple of ks but they were still tight as the car would not roll on much. the brakes work with a fair bit of foot pressure but are still pretty tight. any ideas where i should attack the problem first. have had stainless cylinder inserts fitted and new rubbers a couple of years ago. perhaps the cylinders just need freeing up, including the master cylinder?? ??? ??? cheers, mike

This was happening to my sedan lately. I disassembled , lubricated and adjusted the handbrake mechanism which fixed the problem. It seems that the handrake was not fully releasing. This may or may not be the problem you have. When I park my car now I leave the handbrake off. Hope it helps. Cheers, Craig.

It was connected to starphoto. do you know if there has been a problem there?

Fast_Eddies photo is gone and when I checked it too is sitting on Starphoto so there must be a problem. The other guys on Photobucket seem to be having much more success. Cheers, Craig.
